Water What-ifsTeacher Tutorial

Introduction

This tutorial will introduce you
to the basics of water quality and the skills necessary for testing water
samples. The use of LaMotte test kits and Texas Instruments' CBLs and
probes will be demonstrated. Water quality is an important environmental
issue and testing the different parameters helps us to see the effects
on a system. Water quality testing brings together skills and concepts
of chemistry, biology, and environmental science while laying a foundation
for discussion of societal issues.

Goals and Objectives

Main Objectives

After completing the water quality
testing tutorial you should be able to

accurately assess water quality with the use of chemical test kits
and, if available, CBL probes.

Workshop Wrap-up

Once you have completed the mini-workshops, test your
knowledge with the Water Quality Post-test. Once your completed post-test
is submitted, you will receive a password which will give you and your
students complete access to all areas of the Water What-ifs web site.
